Brisbane Ekka 2012

So on Sunday I went with my family to Brisbane's Ekka, and even though I haven't been in years, it still feels like the same great show. So, to cut a long story short, we spent most of the time on a show bag hunt for the girls. Not to say it was a bad thing as we not only got all the bags they had chosen, but they were winners too. Apparently, the Beanie Kids bag ($25) had a scratchy to win a Murray the Merino Sheep Bear (a limited one of only 400 made and marked as Brisbane Ekka 2012), to which BOTH of them won one each. The guy who served us was gobsmacked as it seemed almost impossible that it could happened (he told us that one women bought 9 bags, that's about $225, and none of her scratchy's won). Plus, we got to ride the classic steam train back to Roma Street.

What a day that was.

ScrewAttack Top 10 Cartoon Games

All Chairs are Bad

Pistols & Daemons

More model updates, the first being towards the army build up to a possible 2013 Armies on Parade entry, a Pistoliers unit.

As you can see, I've actually tried to keep the Outriders cloaks on them. This is because I want to give the impression that the region they're in is cold and as they are used for scouts for the army, they must go through some rather freezing mountain passes. Just need to green stuff the cloaks and give them a tidy up and they'll be ready to paint.

I've always wanted to paint a unit of Flamers and now with the new plastic kit, I planned to do just that.

Finally, we have a WiP shot of the base on which Bazza the Spawn will be mounted on. It's made with sand, slate, cork and beads called 'Acrylic Faceted Prism Crystal (6pk). As of yet, I haven't sculpted the 'chaos tree' that will also go on the base before painting. Will do it around the same time I base sculpt the Disc of Tzeentch.

Nostalgia!

Yesterday I went with my sisters to their School Fete and I can't believe what I found:

And it only cost me $1 from their second hand stall. I haven't seen this in a long time. My mother got me the same game when I was a little boy (I still have most the cardsand stuff in an old box somewhere).

Best of all, it appears to contain most of the game too (if it is missing parts, I'm sure I have replacements in that box somewhere.....assuming I can remember which box it was). What a zoggin good find.

$20

Hated Competitions

Just a quick bitch on how I hate when they send out products world wide, but the competitions they put in with them a limited to just one country.....and it isn't yours. Seriously, it really does peeve me off, considering the prizes are always better.
